Description
A Group of Mary Kirk Kelly Ceramic Vegetables and Fruit
includes seven ceramic art works by Mary Kirk Kelly, all signed, a purple eggplant, a dark green zucchini squash, a purple and white radish with leaves, two reddish purple okra pods, a cluster of cherry tomatoes with leaves, and a cluster of yellow orange loquat with leaves.
Largest 9 3/4 in.
Mary Kirk Kelly was born in Axis, Alabama in 1918. Her father owned a brick yard which used local clays, so it was quite fitting that Kelly would turn to ceramics after retiring as a teacher. She began first with the standard plates and mugs, but found her true calling after a neighbor asked her to make a replica of a prized cabbage he'd grown.
